How to send HTML with PHP mail??

[nag]

I want to know How to send HTML enabled mail through PHP's mail() function as if i would try this to send HTML by putting it in mail() function it would certainly give error as it may contain other symbols like

 <>;" etc

so PHP would try to interpret in its own way so how I can assign it to variable and then put the name of variable in mail() function like

$myvar="<h1><font color="red">Good </font></h1>";
mail("to@someone","subject",$myvar,"header");

But here is the problem as when i would assign value in which way i can assign

<font color="red">

because it had quotes ...Any help??

Escape the quotes with backslashes, "<font color=\"red\">" for example. I don't know if PHP will use the correct header or if you have to force it to use text/html, you'll probably have to specify "Content-type: text/html;" in the header argument.

Yes in PHP you have to specify the HTML header explicitly.
